Very good comment gr8jab!- Definitely something to always keep in mind when traveling. Although I have been fortunate to not have any issues with raw foods/salads in Cozumel, it should always be a consideration. I have had my fair share of issues in Asia, South Pacific and Central America in the last 30 years. I never drink from the tap and only brush my teeth with bottled/purified water.I wish someone had told me to stay away from anything uncooked (salads and such). I knew about the water, and to check if it is purified at your hotel/restaurant (even the ice). I was fine all week, until I saw everyone else enjoying salad and assumed it was OK. Wasn't OK for me
